FMD! What a litany of disaster. That 148 flogging (not a jolly good flogging) by Essendon is seared into the memory. Worse than 186 IMO...

so sad that we have so many disasters to chose from that are candidates for the worst

As my posting on here shows, I tend the pessimistic view of the MFC. I certainly wasn't surprised at the performances against Essendon & Carlton last year, as I was expecting the worst leading into both games, especially the Essendon game.

I don't have the same trepidation about this week's game. I expect us to win and win well, although I can see the nerves coming if we are not in front at quarter time.

Our Round 1 wins in the last two seasons were "poor" wins.  Gold Coast were severely under manned and GWS played terribly.  Unfortunately the team took far too much baseless confidence from those wins and it was a train wreck the week after.  The talk from the club  leading up to last year in particular was very disturbing..

This time we had a good win in Round 1. And the talk coming out from the club is much more reserved.

Tipping a 12 goal win.

Im hoping for a big win to signal the end of the era where we weren't so sure of what we were going to get.

God I hope BenKen and Jakes inclusion reads more about keeping them hungry... I'd have Harmes ahead of BenKen (assuming tyson and kent are locks) I like BK and he can do the spectacular and has great pressure, yet drifts out of games and unfortunately his height is problematic... a la Nahas and even C.Daniel... Harmes can win his own ball in the air, but disposal is average -in my humble opinion at least.

Well Tysons a certainty, you'd think Harmes or Kent to take the other spot. Wonder how bad Maxs wrist is, Spence may get a run after all??

I must have missed this... I though he had some back tightness...?

How were Gold Coast severely under manned? They played a pretty strong team with Ablett and Bennell also in that team.

Ben Kennedy is a better prospect then Harmes in my opinion. Harmes disposal in the JLT series was on par with Paul Hopgood.

This could be the week we see the dual rucks experiment, if Max pulled up a little sore from his smashing of Hickey last week it might be s good time to bring Spencer into the fold. 

Having said that if he's fine I wouldn't want to mess with a winning team. 

In: Tyson, Harmes

Reports say he was close to BOG, let's give him a crack. He can play both ends of the ground (although I prefer in the forward line) and I'd like to see him rewarded for form.

First you have to get the ball.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
